face powder!!
My skin is very dry, but when I put on (Boots no.7) foundation and then powder, it literally flakes off everywhere- NOT nice! I checked the ingredients of the face powder and was surprised to see the ingredients are mainly TALC!! talc has always made my skin horribly tight and dry.
Do you think I am allergic to the foundation, or all face powders? What can I use instead? THANKS

My sis who's a beautician said it was because I needed to get a foundation to suit my skin so I've now got a lovely foundation from Clinique which has got some oil in it so it's lovely amd smooth to put on and feels soft all day. Yes it's a bit more pricey but it's worth all the money. Go and see someone at a beauty counter who knows what he/she is talking about to get some advice and recommendations and remember: ask for samples. They don't give it unless you ask but they will give you little pots where they'll squirt a little foundation into so if you want to try a couple of different ones it's good idea. Or even if you find one you like ask for a sample as you want to try it on you skin for a couple of days as no one can get a proper feel from 5 mins in the shop.
Good luck
